Project Halo

Ok, I just got an Idea, Im just suggesting tho, not forcing anything. If u made the guns Items, you could just fill the other 4 slots with space fillers, maybe they could be something like grenades somehow... and the last 2 slots would be for the guns!

Oh and I have an Idea each unit(With each gun) should ahve his own spells, for example the guy with the energy pistol thing gets a spell called charged shot or something that costs mana

That just gave me another Idea!! I know the perfect way to do ammo!! Mana! Make it so they dont regerate mana and each gun does 1-1 damage, and to do its real damage, it has to use a spell such as searing arrows(with a cost of 1 mana), which adds the actual damge the gun would do, and once they run outa mana... they gotta switch guns! It would be complicated, but what ever!

Oh Oh! And each unit also gets the hit with gun ability costs nothing, only takes a sec to recharge, and does a bit of damage, Not too much or it would be unbalanced(You have to sacrifice sum things to make this work)

Edit: I lerned how to edit spells!!! w00t! now I can help a lot more, gimme some missions reclaimer!

P.S. Im kinda grounded during the skool week, so Ill get back to u on everything in friday, if u really need me to see sumthin, PM me or I might overlook it, I might even be able to sneak on for a min during the week just to check PMs

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!! Your ideas are incredible! I had'nt thought of much of stuff like that. Ok, I have started on the first map, only thing is, I need a trigger guy. Otherwise I can do nothing further. SO ANYONE THAT DOES TRIGGERS PM OR EMAIL ME PLEASE. Either way this is coming along nicely. Once we get some screens and some models, we might be able to get a host.

I finally got my new sig, and when we get a host, I will get one for ProjectHalo.

EDIT: THX FOR MY SIG FROSTY!!

I just pmed skull about getting hosted. Cross your fingers guys. Hopefully we can get our own forum. That would be dang cool. We've already done more work than a few of the campaigns out there so maybe it'l happen. :ggani: :ggani:

Ok, I got a reply from skull, and told him some of the stuff we came up with, and told him to come take a look at this thread if he wanted to. I think that once we get a forum things will really start rolling for us. We can get modelers, skinners, and all kinds of other help. c0nnick, you are in charge of some spells and triggers, and figuring out the whole weapon issue. Frosty, you can help with that as well. Cpt Crap, I need cut scenes from you. I will get you story stuff and if you are a good cinema guy, then you have the job. Roadrunner, you may also help with the custom spells. That just leaves modelers. Oh and c0nnack I finally tried out your map (my comp was messed up). You definately have a job. Now the question is, can we make it even more innovative? We'll have to see how things turn out.

Yikes, lots of posts since the last time I checked. Lol.

To put spells into the Warcraft Editor just open the War3Patch.mpq and add your Abilitydata.slk + whatever .txt files into the .mpq file, then put them onto the unit through the editor. If you want to put it onto the map so you can play it on Bnet (or whatever) just put the files straight onto the map.

Ok, so what do you want me to get to work on? Any weapons in particular you want me to look into?

Also about the ammo thing, cool idea 8). I was thinking something like "Hero picks up item Gun, add ability Rocket Launcher to Hero" (or whatever, I'm not a master of triggers) and have the item just add a certain amount of mana that gets drained per shot (or cast, depending) with the hero having 0 mana regen. Pretty close to what you were saying though ... I think :). Great minds think alike eh?

you can help c0nnack with spell stuff, and figure out the mana thing. thanks to everyone's contribution!

the hit with gun thing can be its regular attack instead of a spell. i am a triggerer, and will help. if i get any free time ill do that riding in vehicle thing. gl on getting hosted 8) :D

u said u were goona get a sig for project halo. ill start making that ow cuz no one else is asking me for a sig at the moment. could you give me more pics for it or do i need to use the ones i already have?

Ok then C0nnack, what's the final plan on spells/weapons? A lazy way to do it is by giving items charges of direct damage and whatnot ... but that would look sloppy I think.

Yeah frosty that'd be cool, I'll pm you with pics tonight.

Alrite phat, I can use comp after 8 now, so Ill be able to check in more often. I have a few things to say
ONE-MY name is C0nnick, no A in it :gfu:

Two- Im gonna go work on the ammo thing now, Ill edit this post in a bit, Mebe not tonight, but within the next day or 2

sorry I messed up the name bud. I like it better with the A :gfu: :gfu: :gfu: Anyway, sounds good. I have a friend who has agreed to do some models for us.

oh and frosty, can I get the pelican in the top right corner of my existing sig plz? Thanks.

OH and I still dont understand how to use adobe photoshop. Read my post at the avatar thread. Thx.

ah.... hey reclaimer. Do u need fan fics? Cuz i got the first level ready.... was on the ibonk fan fic project.

Reclaimer qucik look at this before you log off... Hm.. saying this in the post wont help any... What ever...

Ok dude I hereby declare my spell editing skills supreme!!! Well, it isnt that hard to do, I successfully did the ammo thing, it will work fine want me to make you a map of it? The only thing I dont know how to do is change the spell Icon/tooltip, it jsut ses its missing! Help anyone?
